When a Finished Top is Something to Celebrate!

Lately, I feel like I have zero focus or direction in my sewing. I have lots of quilts in the works but I just can't seem to make a lot of progress on any specific project.

But there is one quilt top that has been finally moved to the "ready to be quilted" pile. And that is my colorwash scrap vortex quilt. Woo Hoo!

What was the secret on this one? It was my leader/ender project as I was working on all those other things. So it just quietly continued to grow and evolve as I wasn't paying attention.

Lots of tiny blue and purple scraps went into this one. It is hard to believe that almost all of the fabrics are scraps from previous quilts.

I think it measures about 50 x 60". I will have to see what I have for a backing because I am sure I have a couple choices for this one. I am hoping to dig around and uncover an oldie that I can finally find a home for.

I love the colorwash effect you created! The way you limited the color pallette, but gave the quilt such movement, is so much fun to see, Cyndy! I always figure that every little bit counts, so whatever you get done is a step in the right direction!

A great finish with loads of tiny pieces!! Lately I have been feeling the same way, lots of projects in the works but not enough finishes. Sooo this week started quilting a bunch of table runners(for fall craft shows). Now I have things to bind and applique on for some real finishes!

Its unbelievable what can be had with leaders /enders pieces! I love the flow from the blue to purple! It's just gorgeous! It seems to me this time of year (Spring has Sprung!), our focus shifts a little bit. It's time to clean up after winter and it isn't any small task!
